The Final Battle

Temair's Review
I enjoyed this show immensely. I thought that the acting was much better this time, though I still think that Lugad needs to be a little more adult in the way he talks, but then again, as has been discussed with others, he may just still be a child in mind. Maeve was exceptionally evil in this show, portraying none of the typical shy away when things aren't in her favour. This is shown best when she captures Deirdre, and uses her against the knights to gain the battle cars. She holds the sword to Deirdre and threatens her with so much ferver one would actually think that she meant it.

One thing did kind of bug me though. When the Temras attacked the castle and the five called their armour, they were standing inside the castle walls. But when their armour was called and they were prepared to fight, they were standing outside on a road. I don't remember this from other episodes, though it could have happened and I just can't remember. But this is a major inconsistency. As far as I know, the knights can't move magically when they call their armour.

Another thing that didn't really bother me as much as it did make me giggle, was when Rohan was fighting against Torc and was wounded from the missiles fired from the Defender. He layed on the ground tottering back and forth, like a turtle on its back. I thought this was rather amusing, since he didn't drop the Dragon Torch and roll onto his side in pain.

I liked the fact that this time they actually showed a portion of Cathabad's vision of impending doom. Does he ever have visions that are good? Just curious. At least now we know what his visions look like when he has them.

I think it was good that Rohan got hurt in this episode, just because it adds to the effect of battle. Not that I don't like Rohan, but his getting hurt proves that he is not invincible, good armour or not, Draganta or not. He is a man just like the rest and he needs to be put there. Also this gave us a chance to see that Deirdre does have feelings for him and she tells him, while he's unconscious, that she has never gotten to tell him her true feelings. Though their was no response from Garrett or the King, which made me wonder, espcially with the kiss she gave Garrett in the previous episode.

I truly enjoyed this episode.
